How To Remove All Text Before a Specific Value in a String

I have the following string, "blahblah
hellothere", that I would like to be shortened to "hellothere" using JavaScript and/or JQuery.

I have tried using the following code:

var titletext123 = "blahblah<br>hellothere"
        var injuryt3xt = titletext123.substring(titletext123.indexOf("<br>") +1);

Which only returns "br>hellothere".

Does anyone have any code which will get rid of the
and all text before it?

Thank you very much. All of your help is appreciated!

Another option (depending on circumstances) might be:

var injuryt3xt = titletext123.split("<br>")[1];

Which would split the string on <br> and return an array with the left-over parts ... the second of which is referred to with the [1]

Using regular expression:

var text = "blahblah<br>hellothere"
var clipped = str.replace(/.+\<br\>/, ""));

You can use split() and get second element.

var titletext123 = "blahblah<br>hellothere" ;    
var injuryt3xt = titletext123.split("<br>")[1];
alert(injuryt3xt);

Make it

var titletext123 = "blahblah<br>hellothere" var injuryt3xt = titletext123.substring(titletext123.indexOf("<br>") + 4);

So it is +4. Which accounts for all the characters in <br>.
